FEATURE PRESENTATION • GI WOOD MEMORIAL

Wood Memorial cont. The immature Adventist (Any Given Saturday), third in the GIII Withers S. two back, rounded out the trifecta again in the Gotham. "Shagaf is in great form," conditioner Chad Brown told the NYRA notes team. "He's only raced three times and, each time, he's done everything we've asked. He seems to be in a nice forward progression in his development. We've always loved the horse and, hopefully, we see another step on Saturday." Brown, who sent out Normandy Invasion (Tapit) to a runner- up finish in the 2013 Wood, also saddles Flexibility (Bluegrass Cat). Second to Mohaymen in both the GII Nashua S. and GII Remsen S. last November, the bay got out from under that runner=s shadow to annex the GIII Jerome S. by daylight at short odds on the inner track Jan. 2. He failed to come through for the chalk bettors last time, however, checking in fourth in the Withers at 1-2. "Obviously, Flexibility is coming off a layoff that he has to contend with," said Brown. "But he's coming into the race a fresher, sharper, horse right now than maybe he was in the Withers. Maybe it was too much racing for him in a short amount of time, so we've freshened him up and he seems to be training well." Uncle Mo=s first loss came when he checked in third at 10 cents on the dollar in the 2011 Wood, but his son Outwork has a chance to make up for that finish for the same Mike Repole/Todd Pletcher team. The son of GISP Nonna Mia (Empire Maker) was the first winner almost a year ago at Keeneland for his freshman sire during what would prove a record-breaking season, but was shelved himself for the rest of 2015. He returned to easily best Tampa allowance rivals Feb. 13, and set the pace before settling for a solid second to stablemate Destin (Giant=s Causeway) in the GII Tampa Bay Derby Mar. 12. Outwork figures to keep Lady Sheila Stable=s highly regarded Matt King Coal (Cool Coal Man) company on the front end. Third in a productive grass maiden at the Spa in August, the $250,000 OBS April pick-up missed by just a nose to the Chad Brown-trained subsequent Remsen third Gift Box (Twirling Candy) in a rained-off Belmont affair Oct. 3.

Santa Anita Derby cont. Wet weather is in the forecast, but Sise doesn=t mind. "I hope it's sloppy," the trainer told the Santa Anita press office. "I hope it's raining when the race is run, because you can get to the bottom [of the surface] better. I don't know. He might not even like the slop, but I think he would. He's got great action for it." Second that day was the ultra-consistent Mor Spirit (Eskendereya), a known commodity who has never been out of the exacta in six lifetime attempts. The $650,000 Fasig-Tipton Florida buy took the GI Los Alamitos Futurity late last year, and picked up right where he left off when besting the aforementioned Uncle Lino in this venue=s GIII Robert B. Lewis S. Feb. 6. The Bob Baffert pupil found himself out wide in no-man=s land for part of the San Felipe, but turned it on late to get up for second. Millionaire Exaggerator (Curlin) will look to make a better- timed move than he did when getting out-kicked late by Mor Spirit last time. Last year=s GII Saratoga Special S. and GIII Delta Jackpot S. winner and GI Claiborne Breeders= Futurity runner-up was second to none other than divisional leader Nyquist (Uncle Mo) on seasonal debut in the GII San Vicente S. going seven furlongs Feb. 15. He broke slowly and trailed the field early in the San Felipe, but made an eye-catching middle move before flattening out late.
